Why is the mac app so slow and unresponsive?

I see. Please see my reply above… it would really help if you can show me a screenshot.

  • bulleted list test - ironic given that this is a forum for a bulleted outliner

when I hit the Bulleted List button, I get this:

  • List item
    but then when I hit return, it’s not bulleted.
    if I tab, it just takes me out of this editor.

I use Dynalist quite a lot, but not that much. I don’t see why my 2.8MB should be so unusual…

Where is the “Bullet List” button? I’m only aware of the “Numberd list” menu option. Every list is a bulleted list by default, so there’s no need for a button.

What platform are you on? Do you use a external (bluebooth) keyboard with a mobile device (like an iPad)? That’s the only scenario that’s remotely similar to your case, I think.

Is that because you imported tons of stuff from WorkFlowy?

For example, @Michael_Potter said his largest document is 33 KB, which is like only 1/100 of yours.

Ah - I’m talking about the text editor in this forum, not in Dynalist!

Yes, I imported my Workflowy data.

Hi @Adam1,

So I saw the screenshot. Sorry for missing it earlier.

Now I can reproduce the first issue: the “zoom in” shows up as “bookmark this list”. Big progress!

The steps I used is to first zoom in, and then check the popup message text. After zooming in, the popup message correctly shows up as “Zoom in”. Reproduction step info like this is crucial for us in order to fix it.


But I still can’t seem to understand the other issues. Namely,

I mean, I can see things are wrong in your screenshot, but I can’t reproduce them with those descriptions. If you try to file a bug in the “Bug” category, you’ll find that a list of reproduction steps is recommended.

I know it’s obvious to you how you can make the bug happen and I can feel the frustration. In order for me to be able to help, I need to know how to make the bug happen (and then fix it).

For example, “parents are becoming notes”, did that happen on its own? Or did you click somewhere or pressed some shortcut? And to be more precise, after you do the action on item A, did the parent item of A become the note field of A (meaning the parent text is removed)?

Thanks a lot in advance!

I see, the forum editor uses third party software and it uses the Markdown syntax. You basically append a * symbol before each list item. It’s not easy to create nested lists though, you need exactly 4 spaces in order to create the indentation.

@Adam1

We did release a new version yesterday, and it could’ve triggered this bug. Did this bug start appearing recently?

From the information I gathered so far, I think it’s an interaction between the size of your document and the new update. If this is happening for everyone, I think we’re surely receive more reports than this.

This is easy to verify too. I see you only have one huge list. Can you try creating a new document (or maybe reuse the “Getting started with Dynalist” document if you still have it) and see if the same bugs happen over there?
